99 cent Yarn at Michaels

This weekend I paid a trip to Michaels not only because I had two 40% off coupons, but because I read a rumor that there was 99 cent skeins of yarn. I thought to myself, even if there weren’t any for 99 cents, then at least I can still us my coupons and buy something. But I was so excited when I walked to the yarn department! There it was…racks of 99 cent yarn!!! I got some wool, simply soft, satin sport, cashmere, and some novelty yarn! Each at just 99 cents a skein!!! I spent about $20…so you can do the math on how many skeins of yarn I got.

I think I would have got more, but some other crocheter probably beat me to those baskets that were empty. Anyway, the moral of the story is you should go to a Michaels near you (if there is one) and see if they have 99 cent yarn too!

Here is a link to a 40% one regular priced item coupon that’s good for this week (May 10 – 16, 2009): Michaels Coupon

I was recently at my local Michael’s, and a woman working there surprised me by telling me that they were planning to get rid of the knitting/crochet section. I don’t know if it’s true, but I guess it’s not that surprising if it is. The yarn there had been really cheap there lately. Even the Caron One-Pounders were only $2.99. I guess there aren’t a lot of knitters or crocheters in my area.

That’s too bad about Michaels, but really great for those who were able to get the .99 cent yarn.
Wal-mart did that too when I worked for them back in 2006. I think that some stores still have a very tiny section but lots of stores are getting rid of those sections for some reason.
